We at Australian 4WD Action are proud of the fact that we aren’t afraid to push the boundaries and set new limits for our readers - remember our ground breaking Best 4WD of 2006 Cape York trip? – and that’s what we intend to do here. Something a little skewiff of “normal”, quite simply because we can.
The good thing about all this is that we will be building a very capable off-roader and proving that it doesn’t matter what 4WD you choose to drive, quality aftermarket accessories and mods will get you where you want to go without spending a fortune. There is a whole range of fantastic aftermarket gear out there to turn your shopping trolley into that dream machine to tour this great land of ours. From LandCruisers to Lada Nivas... it’s not about what you drive, it’s all about where you want to go and how to get there in one piece.
Whilst we aren’t building the ultimate tourer, our aim is to build a reliable daily driver with good on-street manners that becomes a fun toy on weekends. It’ll be something unique that looks flash in the office car park, but chews the bum off other comparable fourbies and doesn’t cost the earth to run. On top of all that, it will be 100% engineered and road legal.
This is web based buildup, so the only place you’ll get to see it is here on the Australian 4WD Action website, so make sure you drop in regularly to see what we’ve done to poor little mite... umm, lucky thing.
